*PRESS RELEASE*

*For Immediate Release*

*Geographic Imager 2.5 for Adobe Photoshop Released*
*- Powerful geospatial plug-in suite now supports DEMs, MrSID, ECW and
more -*

*Toronto, ON, August 5, 2009* - Avenza Systems Inc., producers of
MAPublisher and MAPublisher LabelPro cartographic software for Adobe
Illustrator, Geographic Imager spatial imaging tools for Adobe Photoshop
as well as MAPdataUSA, MAPdataCanada and MAPdataWorld royalty-free GIS
data sets, announces the release of Geographic Imager 2.5 for Adobe
Photoshop. Geographic Imager 2.5 is the latest version of this powerful
software that adds geospatial functionality to Adobe Photoshop.

"This release of Geographic Imager takes Adobe Photoshop to a new level
with the added support for a multitude of new spatial image formats
including ECW, MrSID and DEM, said Doug Smith, Avenza's Director of
Sales. "The support for so many dedicated spatial image formats
significantly improves Geographic Imager and Adobe Photoshop as a viable
solution for spatial analysis and imaging," he added.

Geographic Imager enhances the already commanding Adobe Photoshop
imaging environment by adding all the tools and technology necessary to
support the import, edit, manipulation and export of geospatial images
such as aerial and satellite imagery. In addition to allowing the use
of Photoshop and its powerful native imaging functions such as cropping,
transparencies, individual pixel editing and brightness/contrast
control, Geographic Imager adds the ability to import and recognize most
georeferenced raster image formats, automatically mosaic and tile
images, reproject and transform images, geo-reference images based on
ground control points and re-export images with all spatial information
intact.

*New Features in Geographic Imager version 2.5*

. Adds import support for the following DEM formats: Arc/Info ASCII
Grid & Binary Grid, DEM USGS/CDED ASCII,
Military Elevation Data / DTED, SDTS transfer and SRTM
. Adds import support for the following additional formats: ECW, JPEG
2000, MrSID, PCI EASI/PACE, SGI
. Automatic coordinate system transformation during mosaicking -
allows images with different coordinate systems and pixel sizes to be
mosaicked by automatically transforming the images to the same
coordinate system and pixel size as the destination image in a single
process.
. Crop on import - crops incoming images in the newly supported
raster formats to a specified size upon import thus allowing large
images, which could not be opened, to be successfully imported.

*General Features and Benefits of Geographic Imager*

. Allows the use of Adobe Photoshop native functionality without
destroying the spatial properties of the image
. Import and export a variety of commonly used spatial raster data
formats along with all georeferencing
. Georeference non-referenced imagery with Ground Control Point (GCP)
transformation
. Reprojection of spatial imagery
. Automatic mosaicking and tiling of spatial imagery
. Export reference points as a csv or log file
. Automated scripting allows for use of Geographic Imager tasks in
conjunction with Photoshop's automation tools
. Mac, Windows and floating licenses available
